I presume you have at least one code for this problem and used an OBD-II reader which is incapable of interrogating the ABC suspension controller to retrieve codes.

I'll guess the fault is a consequence of the ABC controller seeing inadequate system hydraulic pressure. An iCarsoft reader or Star Diagnosis can read out the pressure and confirm this diagnosis. The pump, pressure sensor, or the controller could each be faulty.
